There are many practical considerations when moving to another country.
Visa and immigration coordination. Work permits, residence permits, dependent visas, and renewals across the destination country. ARC handles this through our global visa services program in 140+ countries.
Departure services. Home sale or lease termination, school withdrawal, banking, vehicle disposal, and other arrangements in the departure country.
Household goods shipping. International freight, customs documentation, transit insurance, port handling, and door-to-door delivery. Shipping internationally involves regulations the average household mover never deals with.
Destination services. Home finding, school searches, area orientation, banking and utility setup, healthcare registration, and getting the family functional in week one.
Our Speciality. Cultural and language training. Language classes for the employee and family, plus orientation on local customs and business culture. This sounds optional and is actually one of the biggest predictors of whether the assignment succeeds.
Settling in and ongoing support. Spouse career assistance, school issues, healthcare questions, lease renewals, and the dozens of small problems that come up after the move is technically complete.
